This week, I welcome two guests: Sarah Kuta, our cruise writer here at TravelPulse, and Jesse Morris, owner of We Book Travel.
We first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including new updates on TSA's future, Europe's entry fee and more.
Later, we dive into the world of cruise line private islands. Kuta shares insights from her recent visit to Carnival's brand new Celebration Key, and Morris provides tips for fellow travel advisors on booking these unique vacation destinations.
The discussion on the cruise line's private islands begins after the 14-minute mark.
